i am a 20 yr old woman. my mum was raped over 11yrs ago while pregnant with my little brother. That's when they both we infected. She is a single mother and she is an amazing one too. She told me about her situation only last year in september after all these years. It hurts me to know that she went through it all on her own without me. I am also so sad that my little brother also was born positive because its really hard for him as a child. We dont talk about it at all since they broke the news to me but i cry about it every night. They are both doing okay right now with the meds but i constantly leave each day in fear-fear that i may lose them to this condition. I dont know what i would do because they are my world and my only family. I dont know how i can deal with this on my own....im so scared right now and wish that God would somehow reverse this whole thing. My mum is such a hardworking mum and she has always wanted the best for all her kids. I wish that my little brother didnt have to go through all that has had to go through he is just a little boy, i am having a breakdown right now and i know that im supposed to be happy that they are okayright now but i am also very scared.
